"Education should produce the kind of people who are firmly rooted in the soil and who can dance in the clouds. ”
– Albert Einstein
In recent years, children's programming has become a rising star in the field of education. However, for many families, whether or not to set their children on this path has become a rather tangled issue. "It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish", programming is like a key for children, which opens the exploration and creation of the future world.
Let's start with a true story. There is a young man named Mark Zuckerberg, whose experience is quite legendary. At a young age, he developed a keen interest in programming. Through his hard work, he became a great programmer, and based on this, he created Facebook, a world-renowned social platform. His story tells us that programming is not just about writing, it's about a way of thinking, a problem-solving ability.
However, looking at the current state of our education, many parents are hesitant about whether their children should learn to code. On the one hand, what they see is the improvement of logical thinking and problem-solving ability brought by programming to children; On the other hand, they are worried that their children will fall into the boring ** world too early and miss the innocent childhood. So, is it really necessary for us to get kids in the door to coding?
To answer this question, perhaps we need to first understand the essence of programming. Programming isn't just a skill, it's a way of thinking. It teaches us how to break down complex problems into smaller parts, and how to think logically to find the optimal solution. In this process, children learn how to face problems, how to analyze problems, and how to solve problems. This ability is not only widely used in the field of science and technology, but also an indispensable "soft power" for children in their future lives.
On the other hand, with the rapid development of technology, the future world will become more and more dependent on digital technology. Programming, as a language for conversing with computers, has gradually become an essential skill in the new era. Just as we need to master basic reading, writing, and arithmetic skills today, tomorrow's children will have to learn to talk to machines and communicate data if they want to be ahead of the curve.
Let's talk about the concern of many: Does exposing children to coding too early rob them of a happy childhood? In my opinion, this concern is somewhat unnecessary. Children's innocence doesn't go away by being exposed to programming too early. On the contrary, they will find that the world is so full of wonderful possibilities and unknowns that it is necessary for them to explore and discover. At the same time, when they encounter difficulties and setbacks in the process of learning, they will also learn how to face them strongly and dare to move forward. Such childhood experiences will undoubtedly make children more mature and confident.
In conclusion, children's programming is not a gamble about the future, but a journey about children's growth. In this journey, they will learn how to think, how to solve problems, and how to face challenges. More importantly, they will have a broader vision and a brighter future. And the starting point of all this is the heart full of curiosity about the unknown world and the hand that dares to explore.
